Steam Quantity Control
high steam volume
small steam volume
Water Tank
The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that it can
be removed. This makes it easier to fi ll up.
The volume of the water tank is 900 ml.
Water
Only tap water should be used. Do not use any decalcifi ers!
These will destroy the device!
The following is also unsuitable: Do not fi ll battery water,
water from the clothes dryer and water containing additives
(such as starch, perfume, softener or other chemicals) into the
water reservoir.
This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the steam
chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the fabric
when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.
Lock/Lime Filter
The lock of the water tank is also the lime fi lter cartridge. Take
out the lime fi lter cartridge to fi ll with water.
Lime Filter Regeneration
Depending on how often you use the station, lime has to
be removed from the fi lter medium every one to two weeks
(regeneration).
• To do so, unscrew the lid (d) from the cartridge (c).
• Release the cap (a).
• The bags (b) with the fi lter medium are located in the lime
fi lter cartridge.
• Prepare a salt solution of 500 ml of water and 50 g of
special salt for dishwashers.
• Immerse the bags with the fi lter medium in the solution for 2
hours.
• Reassemble the parts and your station is ready for operation
again.
Before Initial Use
Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
CAUTION: INITIAL USE:
Before initial use the station has to be operated for 1 minute
with water.
